The Best Bedroom Houseplants to Create a Relaxing Oasis

Indoor plants
Adding houseplants to your bedroom instantly brings warmth, beauty, and a sense of calm. Beyond their aesthetic appeal, many plants improve air quality, enhance mood, and align with feng shui by introducing wood energy—often associated with vitality and renewal. With their natural shades of green, houseplants balance and harmonize a space, making the bedroom feel more restorative. Since we spend nearly a third of our lives in this room, creating a peaceful retreat with plants can transform how you rest and recharge.

When choosing the best bedroom plants, consider the amount of space, lighting conditions, and the type of display—whether a hanging basket, bedside table accent, or floor-standing statement plant. Below, discover some of the top bedroom houseplants to elevate your indoor sanctuary.

Design Tips for Bedroom Plants

Group plants of different sizes for a layered look, or mix hanging plants with floor-standing varieties. Place them near windows for optimal light, but avoid drafts and heating vents. For smaller rooms, compact plants like peperomia, snake plants, or lemon button ferns maximize greenery without clutter.
